Labyrinth story idea:
2 Characters, 2-3? environments (labyrinth -could be one, or different parts of the labyrinth could be separated into 2? or same model with just tweaking of lighting to make it look like different part of the labyrinth; and the final destination -could just be matte painted)
The story begins with the protagonist running frantically through a harsh environment. The shot zooms out to reveal that she is within a labyrinth. She has been running like this for a while now and is very worn out when she notices a rather calm and lighter color and dashes toward it. Then she finds herself in a dead end of the maze that does not have any threat. She does not want to go back into the chaotic parts of the maze, so she stays in this "dead-end-room". She then takes the first rest she had in a really long time.
She has been in this dead end room thing a while now. She knows it's a dead end but can't bring herself to leave it. She decides to just remain there hope to die, when an old man with a map of the labyrinth finds her there. He invites her to join him in escaping the maze but she still fears to go back into those horrible parts of the maze, not to mention she's not sure if she trusts the man. She studies the map for a moment and knows this would be her only chance of ever escaping the maze. So she decides to go with him.
The maze is still very unfriendly and is troublesome. But the old man helps her a lot and they make great progress. The old man ends up sacrificing himself during the journey which really affects the protagonist. But the influence the old man's character had in her keeps her going and she finally comes out of the maze to find the most wonderful amazing place waiting for her.
